I agree with you about Economics: the USD is based on one economic "story" and Bitcoin on a different one.

The part that gets weird is when people describe the USD through the lens of the Bitcoin story, which is really common in the Bitcoin and Gold communities but I don't think actually helps people understand the USD and how it works. If people are going to make an informed decision, they should be looking at Bitcoin through the lens of the claims of Bitcoin Economics, and USD through the lens of Fed Economics, and decide which if any are credible.

Sorry if the tone in the grandparent post came across as a little harsh, I know it's always easier to criticize than to create something yourself.
